The earth wire will be black or brown, sounds like you've been talking to an Electrician.

It could be the aux earth point on the frame just under the battery on the inside wing, check that and clean it up if its grotty.

are you talking about the wheel arch on the passengers side brian?

Try removing your rear lights and cleaning the metal contacts, if they get disturbed they sometimes just need a quick clean and everything will be fine again

follow the cable from the fog to the chassis where it is connected to the bare metal

What should i clean them with man?

I guess you are talking about your rear lights, sorry I thought you meant the front.

The same answer applies, bad earth, the difference is, its located on the nearside rear behind the panel immediately behind the light assembly.

As Adam said, take the rear light assembly off and clean the earth bolt and check the bulb contacts are all clean.
